Frequently asked questions

What is a seed oil free breakfast?

Eggs cooked in butter, ghee, or tallow; full-fat dairy; fruit; seed oil free bread or crackers; coffee with butter or coconut cream. The focus is eliminating seed oils in the cooking fat and any packaged breakfast items. Read more: seed-oil-free breakfast recipes

Is butter OK for breakfast?

Yes. Butter is a dairy fat, not a seed oil. Kerrygold and other grass-fed butters are appropriate for seed oil free eating and are one of the most nutritious breakfast fats available. Read more: seed-oil-free breakfast recipes

What replaces canola spray for cooking eggs?

Ghee is the best replacement â it has a higher smoke point than butter (485Â°F vs 302Â°F), does not stick, and keeps for 12 months without refrigeration. A small rub of ghee on a non-stick or cast iron pan replaces cooking spray completely. Read more: seed-oil-free breakfast recipes

Are high-fat seed oil free recipes good for weight loss?

They can be, as part of an overall eating plan. Protein-rich meals cooked in traditional fats are filling for many people, but there is no strong evidence that any one cooking fat causes more weight loss than another; total calories still matter. Read more: seed-oil-free weight loss recipes 10

Which seed oil free recipe is lowest in calories?

Shakshuka in olive oil and garlic butter shrimp are the lowest calorie options on this list. Both are high in protein, moderate in fat, and filling at relatively low caloric volume. Read more: seed-oil-free weight loss recipes 10

How much tallow should I cook with?

Use tallow the way you would use any cooking fat â enough to coat the pan or the protein. A tablespoon of tallow for searing a chicken thigh, two tablespoons for a steak. The goal is not to flood the pan but to provide a stable cooking surface. Read more: seed-oil-free weight loss recipes 10
